Well this year, I was able to make it into CPAC with a press credential! Why not!? I have been a Correspondent on a radio show heard on FCC licensed station for over 12 years and have hosted two radio shows myself on FCC licensed radio with a star of a documentary movie interviewing bestselling authors, and other notable personalities! Not to mention my sacrifices for the cause. Well, they took pity on me, and gave me a media pass! Last year on Red 42 I was denied media credentials, and Jim Lancia and Jay hosted the show. Jim claimed I had a case of explosive diarrhea! Well here is the good, the bad and the ugly at CPAC 2019!
The good:
President Donald J. Trump. President Trump gave a 2 hour speech referencing jobs, borders, and a strong military. It was almost a church sermon.
Vice President Mike Pence. Vice President Pence speaks more like a politician than his boss. But he mentioned the lack of respect for the men and women in blue!
Rick Harrison: The “Pawn Stars” star spoke about his government healthcare while his father served in the Navy and his 3 rules for success.
Mike Lindell: The man who used to be a crack addict is now a millionaire gave an inspirational story and mentioned Jesus Christ numerous times.
Diamond and Silk: As usual, brought the house down!
Andrew Wilkow: The Sirius XM host which we had various entanglements with over certain issues (race, Anthony Cumia firing) obviously did not know who we are, and did an impromptu interview via speakerphone while recording 75 Radio! It was a great segment!
Lt Cmdr Dan Crensaw: Retired Navy SEAL and Member of the US House of Representatives.
Radio row was huge this year with, Sirius XM, The Blaze, WMAL DC (BOOOOOO!), The Daily Caller, The Answer, and various other media outlets. Conspicuously absent was CNN and MSNBC, and Facebook. I don’t know if they were denied access or just didn’t want to come. I know CNN would have been booe’d out of the joint!
David Webb: He was a speaker, but he was on fire on his radio show! Unlike his colleague Andrew Wilkow, he used the appropriate language to call out the bullshit on fake racism!
The idiot’s who usually dress up like Paul Revere, the Statue of Liberty or some other yahoo were also missing. Again I don’t know it was that CPAC said no stupid costumes, or they just didn’t want t come. Also missing is the former Sheriff who wore a coat on the back with the lettering “Ask me about legalizing drugs.” I really wanted Walter Yurkiw to talk to this clown.
There was a lot of wheelin’ and dealin’ goin on. I could have spent all my time talking to other media outlets, like other media people, but I had a job to do!
No GBTQMTANYC: The alphabet mafia had no place at CPAC! No 300 lb drag queens demanding to be accepted.
As usual, the women were gorgeous!
The bad:
The cost. The venue is held at the Gaylord Convention Center, at National Harbor. Nice venue. Super expensive. Needless to say, there was not a lot of working people there! Even the student pass was not cheap. If you cough up 5 to 15 g’s you can meet all the (well most of the speakers). Then Matt Schlapp said he was holding CPAC conventions in Australia and Japan and to contact him if interested? Who the hell has $ to go there? We’ll start calling Schlapp Lunch bucket Matt! CPAC is not for the poor, working class people.
The speakers: Enough with all the talking heads, and policy wonks on the right! Larry O’Connor!? Glenn Beck!? Lindsey Graham? How about more people who accomplished something or has a real job? How about more war heroes or cops?
Van Jones: Why have him on? He has a thing against white people. Besides, what does he know about the criminal justice system? There are a million other people more worthy. Michael Dowd and Walter Yurkiw for one as they know both sides of the system, Jim Lancia who wrote a book on the criminal justice system, or best-selling author and 29 year career law man Gary Byrne, or Sheriff Richard Mack who fought the government to the Supreme Court (and won) or sheriif’s David Clarke or Joe Arpio who ran local jails!?
Israel: I had enough people talk about Israel. I like to call CPAC AIPAC Lite. Even Diamond and Silk mentioned their support of Israel. Let Israel be Israel. Besides everyone either forgot or never heard that in 1967, Israel purposely attacked a US Warship!
Blue Lives Don’t matter: I heard more for Israel than for the men and women in Blue! Hey, cops vote too!
Joy Villa: Joy Villa was at CPAC to do what she does best: promote Joy Villa! Not a speaker, not on radio row, just going around meeting fans and Trump supporters!
Not enough bandwidth: Since it was a huge independent media event
The ugly: CPAC actually pulled the media credentials for Laura Loomer. Loomer is a real conservative. She is on our side. Fortunately she filmed it, and the security people looked like assholes. CPAC is a private event, but there is no reason to ban her. Hell every other asshole who hate America get passes including Comedy Central.
